Is it because Lorry owns a Pug that keeps breaking down,
I used to have a 406 (4 trips to Le Mans) and it never ever went wrong, so I've got a mint Haynes Manual.
I'd never had a car that didn't go wrong, so to see if my luck would hold, I bought a LandRover. I had the RAC out 4 times in the first fortnight, then I bought the Haynes manual for it, and the black magic has been protecting it ever since.
I might be prepared to swap the Haynes manual for a conducted tour of the Popemobile at Blue Nord
